This is great for a cold winter night. Use a good canned or homemade chicken broth. I sometimes use a store bought rotisserie chicken, which adds another dimension to the flavor.

CREAMY ROASTED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE SOUP



Creamy Roasted Chicken and Vegetable Soup image

I roast whole chickens quite often. I pour off all the pan drippings into a jar and keep the drippings in the freezer. The fat rises to the top, and the pan juices end up on the bottom. This stuff is like liquid gold! Vegetables roasted in chicken fat has to be one of the best things ever. Our grandmother's did know best.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 c roasted chicken, chunked
1 large onion, diced
3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 lb mushrooms, sliced
4-5 sprig(s) fresh thyme
2 Tbsp chicken fat
3 Tbsp butter, unsalted
4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
2 c milk
3 c chicken stock
1 bay leaf
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400-degree. Heat two large baking sheets in the oven with 1 tablespoon chicken fat on each one. Spread the sliced mushrooms on one in an even layer ( don't add salt until they are cooked). Spread the onion, carrot and celery in an even layer on the other one. Season with salt, pepper and thyme. Roast vegetables until golden brown and liquid has evaporated from mushrooms - about 35 minutes. Give the vegetables a stir once or twice during cooking.
  • 2. In a large pot melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook for about a minute. Whisk in cream cheese, milk, chicken drippings and chicken stock. Add the cooked vegetables, roasted chicken, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring often.
  • 3. This recipe is a great way to use leftover roasted chicken. To save time, I roast the vegetables at the same time I roast the chicken. The next day, the soup comes together fairly quickly.

Tips:

- For a creamy soup, use a high-quality chicken broth and cream. - Add vegetables that are in season for the best flavor. - If you don't have any cooked chicken, you can use rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken. - To make the soup ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, reheat the soup over medium heat until warmed through. - Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

This creamy chicken vegetable soup is a hearty and flavorful meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying soup that your whole family will enjoy.
